[There's a familiar buzzing sound on the network; apparently it's been a little over two weeks since his last post and the communicator wanted to make sure he was alive. However, Adam wasn't holding the device. It proved otherwise because everyone could hear a loud clunk and crash hit the damn thing.]

Whoa, so it can break?

[There's sounds of gathering up something and hitting a mat like he was sitting down. As he speaks, he sounds pretty tired. A mental note to not pull a sun up to nighttime patrol shift anytime soon.]

So I can guess everyone's been getting visitors lately. While I'm glad they're not beings that want to eat brains, they still make me feel a little unhinged. And you can't get rid of them because they come back.

[Pause and gaps.]

...and strike that statement about them breaking.

[There's a pause before he speaks again.]

I'm planning on giving self defense lessons for anyone who wants them after Halloween is over. It doesn't matter if you have skill or not, I'll welcome everyone here who's willing to learn. Just give me a time and we'll work something out. Also, I am up for sparring if anyone wants it.

Shaolin Kung Fu is my speciality.

[Hehe.]

Ohh...

[Kung Fu...]

I see! Well for me...it's karate. Though I haven't been at it as long as you.

It doesn't matter how long you've been doing it; what does is that you got the skill and focus for it.

...I guess you're right.

[She's always thought she's had the skill and the focus. She hasn't given up yet, and she's won plenty of tournaments...

But it always bugs her that she still feels weak--

Helpless.]

...is everything alright?

...I'm fine!

[Whoops. Shaking off the feeling now.]

So, er--have you ever taught martial arts before?

I have. I run a dojo back home.

Oh--that's so neat!

Maybe we should train together sometime...I'm guessing we should really keep in shape, if we want to survive here.

That's a good plan, but it's not just for keeping in shape. I believe it can help one focus their energy no matter what they're doing and give them confidence in life. I know it helped me while growing up.

[A chuckle.]

There is that, too...everyone could use a confidence booster every once and a while.

[...She nods, as if to affirm her words; and then she rubs her chin in thought.]

Hmmm...have you found somewhere to teach yet? I'm sure there's some place you could use for this...

Maybe I could help out.

[Though it doesn't sound like he'll need it much...]

Yeah, the high school here in town. I've been using it as a base for awhile now.

[And during the time while you were in sleep-coma, it was kind of like home.]

The high school, huh...

[Never got a chance to explore that...]

Mind if I swing by to take a look?

Sure, go ahead.

[Ran will do just that then; and after saying a brief goodbye, she tucks her communicator into her pocket, and heads over to the high school.

She passes it on her patrols in the morning, so it doesn't really take long to get there...though she'll still keep an eye out for anything dangerous. Sure to be on her guard.

She's never been inside, though, so she'll enter, and immediately start looking for the gym.]

[And once she finds it, she'll see a wide open space with several mats put in a pile along with a metal rod on top. Adam himself was crouched down as like if he was trying to focus on something important...

But no. He's fighting the big sleep bug.]

[Once she sees the large mats--and him--she approaches. Silent at first, not wanting to disturb him, but...after a few moments--]

...Hey.

Looks like I made it.

[A small chuckle and she'll look around...]
